Each of the translation theorists has more or less been able to influence the history of translation with their works and opinions. Among them were Jean-Paul Vienne and Jean Darbelne in 1958. They published a book entitled "French and English Comparative Stylistics". This book introduces the techniques that every translator uses, and due to the significant impact this work has had on the history of translation, it has actually become an important reference for translation techniques. In the present study, after providing a brief definition for each of these techniques, examples are mentioned for each. After exploring and comparing the translated text with the original text of the famous novel "Sayyid al-Qamar" and in accordance with the same technique, these samples have been selected to analyze the translation of this novel written by Ms. Jokheh al-Harithi (2010) and Mohammad Hezbai Zadeh. He translated it as "Women of the Moon". This article seeks to evaluate the translation of the novel based on the opinions of famous translation theorists and in a problem-oriented study with an analytical-descriptive method to measure the tendency and success of the translator in using these techniques, which in the end, the translator has taken a destination-oriented approach due to his special attention to the reader's understanding and communication with him. Therefore, to create a fluent and understandable text, it has used less direct techniques and more indirect methods to finally provide a readable translation in Persian whose expressions and terms are familiar to the Persian-language readers and free of ambiguity and complexity, and is appropriate to the level of readers of a novel.
